BRUXELAS, 06\/10\/2026<\/strong> \u2014 O Ministro da Sa\u00fade dos Pa\u00edses Baixos enviou \u00e0 Comiss\u00e3o Europeia um carta aberta<\/a>, A carta, assinada em conjunto por B\u00e9lgica, Finl\u00e2ndia, Fran\u00e7a, Hungria, Let\u00f4nia, Eslov\u00eania e Espanha, pede o congelamento do mercado de qualquer produto de nicotina que ainda n\u00e3o esteja \u00e0 venda na UE. A carta, relacionada \u00e0 pr\u00f3xima revis\u00e3o da Diretiva de Produtos de Tabaco e da Diretiva de Publicidade de Tabaco, tamb\u00e9m defende a proibi\u00e7\u00e3o de sabores em toda a UE, tampas de nicotina, embalagens neutras e a liberdade para os Estados-Membros proibirem as bolsas de nicotina.<\/p>\n

Michael Landl, diretor da Alian\u00e7a Mundial dos Cigarros Eletr\u00f4nicos, alertou que a proposta protegeria justamente o produto que deveria ser substitu\u00eddo:<\/p>\n

\u201cEles continuam chamando isso de \u00e0 prova de futuro. N\u00e3o \u00e9. Um congelamento significa que qualquer coisa que ainda n\u00e3o tenha sido inventada n\u00e3o chega ao mercado, enquanto os cigarros continuam nas prateleiras. As pessoas n\u00e3o param de fumar por causa de embalagens neutras. Elas param quando encontram algo que funciona melhor do que cigarros. Pro\u00edbam os sabores, limitem a nicotina e digam aos adultos que eles n\u00e3o podem comprar sach\u00eas, e muitos deles voltar\u00e3o ao que j\u00e1 conhecem. Para muitos, isso significa cigarros. Para outros, ser\u00e1 qualquer coisa que aparecer no mercado negro.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Os oito governos afirmam querer uma gera\u00e7\u00e3o livre do tabaco at\u00e9 2040. O pa\u00eds mais pr\u00f3ximo dessa meta n\u00e3o a alcan\u00e7ou fechando as portas para alternativas \u00e0 nicotina. Na Su\u00e9cia, os fumantes migraram para o snus e, posteriormente, para sach\u00eas de nicotina e cigarros eletr\u00f4nicos. Agora, a taxa de tabagismo est\u00e1 abaixo de 51% e muito acima da m\u00e9dia da UE.<\/p>\n

A WVA insta os restantes Estados-Membros da UE a oporem-se a estas propostas. Os vapes e as bolsas de nicotina n\u00e3o s\u00e3o cigarros, e a legisla\u00e7\u00e3o da UE deve refletir isso. Os consumidores precisam de ter acesso a alternativas menos nocivas \u00e0 nicotina, tanto hoje como no futuro.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
